This is the OG POPMART location that I first started going to and started my love for Pino Jellies…read more Over the years and through the hype, this POPMART is constantly busy and packed. As an art store, there are already small aisles since the store is filled with displays. The customers that come in and out aren't the kindest people. There's pushing, shoving, and nonexistent boundaries. My only hope is for some sort of expansion so there's less exchanges of germs. As an avid collector, I'm still a fan and still adore this location. My only hint to visitors: park in the building next to Din Tai Fung for the easiest and quickest access to the store!

I would not recommend purchasing any items from the South Coast Plaza storefront. We purchased a…read morefew of the skull panda blind boxes and within the first two days of having the toy pendant, one arm fell off and then within the week, the second arm fell off. We came in within 30 days of purchase and spoke to 2 employees (a counter employee and the manager) about the problem requesting an exchange. I did not have the receipt, as it had been discarded after opening, but the manager had me entertain him by searching for a spot with good cell phone reception (providing proof of purchase within 30 days) and after all the time spent re-explaining the problem and finding a place in the mall with good cell phone reception, and logging into my credit card account, was still told there was nothing they could do about it. That is terrible customer service! Why would you waste a Customer's time and effort if you plan on not resolving the situation? I did not intend to pay over $30 for a poorly sewn product and do not recommend doing business with the South Coast Plaza Popmart store.

The staff is friendly, fast and genuinely care about giving great service. Even when theres a long line, they stay upbeat and keep everything moving quick. My favorite is the coconut milk. It's smooth, creamy, and tastes like a vacation in a bottle! Their coconut water is just as good: cold, naturally sweet, and perfect on a hot day. And the prices are fair for the quality you get.

After spending $15 each bottle, I decided to keep them in the fridge & take them back the following Saturday (last week) spoke with Keith who works there, he said the owner is not there & we can't do anything about it - you have to speak with the owner ( ALL EMPLOYEES ARE RUDE ) he gave me the card - I texted her when I got home , sent her photos of the 2 spoiled milk bottles , she never responded until Sunday. As a business owner you would think she cared & would have offered to replace the milks at least! - nope instead she asked a ton of questions to then say she would have to talk to the owner & get back to me - Seriously, keep the money & your milk . I will never buy from them again DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY - WORST BUSINESS OWNER I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED ALL ABOUT THE MONEY- BAD BUSINESS I am certain they don't wash the jugs they keep the milk in

When I think of this stationery space, I think small but mighty. I absolutely love Pen Pals because…read morethey are a place of comfort for me as someone who loves stationery supplies and all things cute. The prices are competitive and fair, and the shop puts tremendous care into curating the items they offer to those who love stationery, stickers, and cute things. And the service has always been so warm, welcoming, and encouraging. I've had the privilege of knowing Matt, Sandy, and Aja since they were 'Plant Matter' and now they're Pen Pals. There aren't alot of stationery places as it is, so I am so glad that this shop exists. Word from a carrier pigeon is that the Pen Pals will have an expansion of a brick and mortar store soon, and I can't wait for them to finally announce the location and be open with even more selection of goods. I frequent this place often to scout for stickers, and Pen Pals never disappoints.

Poppi Seed Market gets 5 stars just on cuteness! This location is surprisingly huge with…read moremerchandise in every corner. I was really surprised by all the variety, like clothes for adults, kids and dogs! They also have a mix of handmade items too. I got so inspired by the section with all the party decorations. It's a great place to browse and get ideas too. A couple of the reasons why I'm not giving 5 stars include the fact that I went for their self-care Sunday "event" - which even had free tickets on the Eventbrite. I am still very confused regarding the marketing of this "event". They had 1 booth to make your own floral bouquets and then a small Halloween backdrop for kids/animals. I didn't see anything self care related and it felt more like a ploy to get you to shop. I was hoping for a station with face masks, nail painting, charm bracelets, etc. I thought it would be more of a pop up type event. Either vendors dropped out or it wasn't actually an event. I still am unsure. The second thing to note is that it really felt like no one was working in the store. I saw one employee at the cash register, and that was it. Especially since it was an "event", I anticipated a warmer greeting or an explanation about the event. They had a box of donuts that said "help yourself" and some waters. Outside they had coffee and we paid $8 for a small, that was very small. The shop itself is a mix of various vendors - some homemade and some store bought. It did feel a bit overpriced at times and hard to determine which were actually handmade. But, it is an opportunity to help small businesses owners versus ordering from Amazon! The last positive to mention is that they offer a variety of crafts and classes on certain days and I'm really looking forward to checking that out.
